Surprise!

I finished my first day of grad school yesterday. It started with a 2 hour delay. Thank you ice storm. We had a whopping 2 hours of accounting and then broke for lunch. Then quantitative methods...of which I am terrified. I have not been lulled by our gentle introduction...or the fact that I overprepared for class so I actually knew what was going on today. And then we got out 1 hour early!

So what does this have to do with martinis?  Last night I went to Zink and had a New Fashioned martini. In light of my change of lifestyle (revert to student) I'm breaking all the rules on his one. Makers Mark. Decidedly not gin. Cherry schnapps. What is that? Orange liqueur. This drink is delicious. It makes me want to change my moniker from Gin Diva to Bourbon Belle. It even makes you feel southern.  Oh - there's a cherry in it so as not to stray too far from it's old fashioned roots. But I didn't eat it.  Well, either of them.  Because of course, it was so good, I had two.

By the way the food at Zink is pretty great - very good food pairings.

Martini - 8.
